Although adjusting the master oscillator won't correct a 100 Hz tx/rx
offset, it will correct any frequency error the VFO readout has.

The access to the adjustment is through the small hole on the master
oscillator unit (see page 99 of the FT-1000MP oparating manual).  The
adjustment is there for all three master reference oscillators available
for the MP, i.e., the stock REF-UNIT, the TCXO-4, and the TCXO-6.

Adjustment is needed if WWV's frequency as displayed on your VFO readout
is not what it should be when the signal is zero beat in the LSB or USB
mode.
